Night class could generally be defined as the act of reading throughout the night especially during examination period or when one is trying accompany an important task in class. However, people have many reasons for partaking in night class; to read, to do assignment, while some uses it as an avenue to reconnect with friends they were unable to meet during the day in class.
During night class, students who have busy schedules during the day make out time to study and prepare for their exams while some students use this opportunity to cover all or most of their courses.
In an interview with some students of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic Owo, Ondo State, an Hnd2 student of Mass Communication, Oyindamola Bakare said; "I go to night class not because I can't read at home but for some reasons, one of it is that; I have many people around who I need to courage to read and not all of them can afford coming to my house, therefore I need to sacrifice my time by coming to night class."
According to Oyindamola, it is important we consider individual or personal reasons, adding that some actually attend night classes to avoid distraction, while to some its based on their reading strategies (reading aloud, drawing motivations from people around, among other reasons).
"Therefore different people have different reasons for going to night class" he added.
Night classes is believed to assist students in preparing ahead of the day class as diligent students have time to review what they learned in class and prepare for the coming classes by reading ahead of the class.
Many students who engage in part-time jobs during the day also revert to night classes to cover up lost grounds.
Night classes help students to expand their network because they meet with people from other departments, with people who may have graduated in their field or with people doing higher degrees in their course of study. Thus, they can discuss and learn more from them and establish a relationship that can last for a lifetime.
Although, night classes have a very good impart in the life and academics of students, it can also be the bane of students. It is therefore advise-able that students maximise every opportunity they have in night classes and forsake distractions. They should also be focused and set their priorities right before attending night classes.
